Under the 4271 Budget, the Deltarian Defense Force Expenditure has risen from 275 Billion DTE to 500 Billion DTE. In light of this, we are in the process of a deal with Hyperion to modernize our equipment for Modern day 43rd Century Combat.

Emmm no? Like totally no you can't have cruisers (Generally cruisers are useless in modern doctrine to begin with) and 20 something destroyers with your budget.

It took 30+ years for malivia to build and commission 2 for 7.5 Billion MCR each which by the way MCR is almost 1=1 for LOD. And our newest program cost 80 billion for 4 destroyers and 9 frigates plus some other smaller vessels and weapon systems.
